Some of the most popular National Parks include Kruger in South Africa, Masai Mara in Kenya and the Serengeti in Tanzania. However, there are so many incredible places to safari in Africa, and it all depends on who you are travelling with, and what you’re looking for. For example, Madikwe and the Eastern Cape in South Africa are ideal for families because they are malaria-free. The Sabi Sands conservancy in the Greater Kruger National Park is ideal for those seeking ultra-luxury. Kenya and Tanzania offer real authentic experiences and an abundance of wildlife roaming across the African plains. Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana are remarkable safari destinations too, with Victoria Falls and the Zambezi River being highlights of these destinations. Whilst Rwanda, Uganda, Ethiopia and Namibia provide unique safari experiences, perfect for return travellers to Africa.
Both destinations offer different experiences, wildlife, and types of safari. South Africa is great for families due to its malaria free game reserves, and the food is really exceptional in South Africa. You’re probably more likely to see a greater abundance of wildlife in Kenya. Also, in Kenya, you're more likely to move around to different National Parks. Plus, you have the opportunity to combine your safari with a beach stay in Mombasa.
This is an impossible question to answer! Each and every safari is completely unique, it all depends on your own personal experience. One thing we can guarantee is that once you’ve been on safari, it will remain one of your best holidays. Give our destination experts a call to discuss which country best suits your holiday dreams.
Anything from 2 nights to 14 nights, or longer. We would always suggest a minimum of 2 nights, as this means you have one full day at the lodge to have a spa treatment, relax beside the pool, go on a walking safari, or just read a book and admire the natural surroundings of the African bush. If you’re a wildlife fanatic or an eager photographer, then the longer the better.
For a chance to track the Big Five on a safari, head to South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana or Namibia. You can see all five animals – the lion, African elephant, Cape buffalo, leopard, and black rhinoceros – in each of these destinations, although they may be spread across several parks.
A family safari is an unforgettable adventure and we’d highly recommend it. That said, certain game lodges have age restrictions for children, and some safaris set a minimum age for safety reasons. Talk to our Destination Specialists to find the best family safari for you.
The month of travel can vary depending on where you’re looking to safari. Generally though, Africa is a year-round destination.
There is an element of danger, of course, as you are in a wild terrain surrounded by wildlife. However, the lodges that we select and the partners that we work with ensure safety is at the forefront of their day to day duties, so you should not be concerned.
